Reasons I Love Fall

Fall is undesputably my favorite season.  To kick off the new season that has arrived (even though it felt like it arrived about a week ago), I thought I would let you know why I lurve it oh so much.  :)

Fall...How do I love thee?  Let me count thy ways....
  1. Cooler temps, for running and general life enjoyment.
  2. Hoodie and jeans weather = perfection.
  3. Shorts and a long sleeve running weather = perfection.
  4. Running through crunchy leaves.
  5. Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes.
  6. Starbucks pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting.  I literally die.
  7. Football season.  GO PACK GO!
  8. Football players.
  9. Mmmm football players...... :)
  10. Apple cider.
  11. Hot chocolate.
  12. Super cute scarfs.
  13. Gorgeous multi-colored leaves getting ready to fall off the trees.
This morning I had my first official run of "fall."  I had an easy peasy 4 on the schedule since it's race week!!!!  I stepped outside in shorts and a cut off and it was CHILLY.  And being chilly makes me happy. :)  I saw people out in pants and long sleeves (amateurs.... :p) but I still managed to work up a decent sweat regardless.  One thing you won't see on my list of fall looooooooooves:  wind.  It kicked my booty today.  30 mph wind gusts?  Yup, this run goes in to the strength training category. :p

What do you love about fall?
